Lido’s popularity in ETH staking, coupled with the lack of competition in the space, allowed the platform to earn the lion’s share of the ETH staking market.


The community feared that any entity representing over 33% of the market could influence various aspects of the Ethereum blockchain.

There are 26 known entities that contribute to ETH staking in total, including crypto exchanges Kraken (2.4%), Bitcoin Suisse (1.6%), OKX (1.2%) and Upbit (1.1%).


According to Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, stake pools should not have more than 15% control and should choose to “keep increasing its fee rate until it goes back below 15%.”Source: Vitalik Buterin


The Lido decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) community previously tried to solve the ETH staking dominance issue by proposing a hard limit in May 2022. However, the DAO rejected the proposal with a 99.81% vote in June 2022.The Lido DAO community voted against adding a hard limit on staking contribution. Source: snapshot.org


Increasing competition among ETH staking service providers is expected to play a major role in further decentralizing the staking ecosystem.

In a recent Coinbase report, in-house analysts noted the possibility of several risks around Ether restaking and the issuance of so-called liquid restaking tokens (LRTs).


Using the Ethereum restaking protocol Eigenlayer as an example, the analysts said, “While this (restaking) can increase earnings, it can also compound risks” as it allocates the same funds to similar validators for increased yield.


“As such, LRTs may be incentivized to maximize their yields in order to gain market share, but these could come at the cost of a higher (albeit hidden) risk profile,” they added.
